Morgan thought to himself that Theresa was exactly this kind of person–self- protective. Her loud, clear refusal today only revealed her own insecurity.
He felt he was one step closer to victory.
Persistence would win her over eventually.
The next day, countless helicopters shuttled to and from Theresa’s camp.
This time, they had her permission to fly.
Each aircraft belonged to Ark Camp One.
Ark Camp One’s lower–class residents were transported over, one group another.
For three straight days, two thousand laborers were brought in.
Only then did Theresa release Morgan and his group.
after
“Time to go,” she said after counting the laborers, waving her hand to dismiss them.
Morgan smiled at her. “Then, we’ll be on our way.”
“Get out of here.” Theresa snapped.
“Theresa, we can still be friends, right?”
Theresa didn’t respond.
“There’s a joint meeting of our three camps coming up. I’d like to invite Kl Camp to attend. You qualify,” Morgan continued.
I’m not going?
“ I suggest you come, We’ll finalize a lot of material purchases at the meeting. Your

camp produces so much,” Morgan said, glancing around Theresa’s remarkably prosperous camp, you could sell it at a good price there.
“Don’t worry, I won’t bother you. From now on, I’ll just consider you a friend.”
Theresa waved dismissively. “Sure, sure. We’ll talk later. Go back now.”
“You really should attend.”
“Fine,” she said, letting Morgan leave.
Releasing them wasn’t without risk. Even with a signed agreement, this was the apocalypse–agreements meant little.
The best they could do was keep each other in check. Morgan wouldn’t dare provoke Theresa without justification and enough strength.
Living and exchanging resources was far better than fighting.
Theresa couldn’t keep Morgan and his subordinates indefinitely. He was the second–in–command of Ark Camp One, and the other two were administrators. Holding onto them could be seen as a provocation.
So, she let them go once they had received enough laborers.
But once she released them, she had to speed up construction on her own camp
even more.
This time, two thousand new laborers were added, and they were quickly assigned to their posts.
Theresa was quite pleased–thanks to the surge in manpower, the construction of their second line of defense, which would have taken a month, was completed in just two weeks. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on.net
Now, everyone focused entirely on building warships,
Theresa watched her camp grow stronger by the day, her anxiety casing.
She had to grow even stronger and faster.
Strong enough that her single camp could stand against the three Ark camps at

Then came Morgan’s invitation–he wanted her to attend the meeting at Ark Camp Two.
“Are you going?” Lucas asked.
“Yes,” Theresa replied, scrolling through the long list of items Morgan wanted finalized.
Of course she was going. And she’d bring enough people.
At that moment, in a small desert town, Ark Camp Two was preparing to welcome its distinguished guests tomorrow.
The Inner Ring, Middle Ring, and Outer Ring of the camp were all bustling with activity.
Presently, the Outer Ring–the slums–was especially chaotic.
“Stop right there!
“Don’t move!”
Crack!
A long whip slammed into a running girl.
Barbed and cruel, it tore through her thin clothes, leaving raw, bleeding welts.
Bright red lines marked her body, seared into the eyes of those watching.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The man wielding the whip sneered. “Sending you to serve the distinguished guests coming tomorrow in the Middle Ring is generosity! How dare you try to run? Where do you think you’re going?”
The onlookers were numb. Detached.
This was nothing new.

They even thought the girl deserved it.
In the camp, this was a girl’s fate.

The pretty ones were sent to the Middle and Inner Rings, used and exploited by higher–level administrators and residents. The less attractive remained in the Outer Ring, abused by its overseers and gangs.
There was no order, no law–everyone had to submit to the camp as if it were divine.
Disobey, and they could be thrown out to feed the zombies.
The crowd watched the girl being whipped. Why resist? Wouldn’t it be easier to accept her fate?
